How discovered:
It was kinda strange. I was chatting with my homies on Facebook when my scouter texted me and asked if I wanna be a model. After about a week I accepted the offer and here we are now.

Favorite things:
Steaua Bucharest, FC Barcelona, football, basically. My friends, family, and honestly, my cell phone.

What are you listening to at the moment?
I’ve recently been listening mostly to hip hop music, artists like Eminem, 2Pac, Notorious BIG or Asap Rocky are on the top of my playlist. But I used to listen a lot of rock and electronic music as well.

Favorite movie, tv show:
I use to watch sports, Lucifer (serial), sometimes cartoons because they remind me of my childhood, and lots of movies!

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I like a lot of designers, but I can tell you that I really love Dior, JW Anderson, MSGM, Gucci and Raf Simons.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I would be a simple student, and after that, maybe an architect or an IT engineer!

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I think that when I’m mixing sports elements with classic fashion, it seems to be kinda strange to others, even if I’m always trying to create an harmony between them.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
There are a lot, even if I’ve just got in the industry. I’d say the Dior show where I met Asap Rocky, maybe Paul Smith because of it’s Jamaican mood and the Korean experience, unforgettable!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The best thing here is that you can relax in the mountainside and you can meet Dracula ?

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I’d really love to work for Gucci, because I haven’t done it before, and for Raf Simons.

Place you would love to visit:
I can’t say a proper place, I just wanna go all around the world, as many places visited is good for me!

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I can tell that I’ve recently became obsessed with Asia, because of Korea, I really wanna go back in that area as soon as possible!
